h1. Mission Goals and discoveries
Basically, the main goal of these probes is space exploration and discovering. Meanwhile, several missions are defined as listed below:
* Exploration of the solar system
* Exploration of the outer limit on sun’s sphere of influence
* Search for Heliopause boundary
* Search about the outer limits of the sun’s magnetic field and the outer flow of the solar wind
* Measurement of the interstellar fields, particles and waves unaffected by the solar wind

*Accomplished Missions and discoveries*
Since 39 years travelling, Voyager 1 & 2 accomplished most of their goals. Below there are several examples about these discoveries.
* Active volcanoes and complex cloud forms in Jupiter’s moon
* Complex discoveries about Saturn’s ring
* 10 additional moons discovered around Uranus
* 3 complete rings and 6 unknown moons around Neptune
* Exploring the outermost edge of the sun domain’s and beyond
* In 1980 Nov. 12, Voyager 1 Began the trip out of the solar system
* 2012 Aug. 25 Voyager 1 entered the interstellar Space
